Olivia Taylor Dudley and Arjun Gupta are part of the ensemble cast for The Magicians, a Syfy series based on Lev Grossman’s New York Times bestselling fantasy trilogy.

I’ll be posting up video on Gupta discussing his ventures this week, but for now here’s a video of Taylor Dudley discussing her work as a co-founder of 5 Second Films.
